Klitschko vs. Haye To Be Officially Announced, Says Boente
By Mark Vester
It appears both sides have agreed to just about everything. According to Bernd Boente, manager of WBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko, the fight with David Haye is nearly done and the two sides are probably going to officially announce the fight in the next few days - he hopes. Negotiations have been ongoing for the last three months. The fight will take place on June 20.
"We have reached agreement on the most important points and we hope to be able to officially announce the fight next week," said Bernd Boente to Sky Sports .
One of the few points they have not been able to agree on - is the site. They are looking at four possible venues in the UK and Germany. A venue based in Germany is the probably host to the event. That appears to be the final piece of the puzzle.
"There are four sites still in competition to host the fight, which will probably not be in Great Britain, but rather in Germany," Boente said.
